NYC Weekend Watch: Brian De Palma, Hong Sang-soo, Thom Andersen & More

Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

A full-career Brian De Palma retrospective is now underway. Sisters and Carrie play on Friday, and Saturday brings The Phantom of the Paradise — but that’s not even half of the first weekend.

Prints of Gilda, Space Jam, and shorts by Charles and Ray Eames screen this Saturday.

Sarah Silverman Joins Showtime’s ‘Masters Of Sex’

Sarah Silverman Joins Showtime’s ‘Masters Of Sex’
Sarah Silverman has landed a recurring role in the second season of Showtime’s Masters of Sex. Silverman will recur in the guest-starring role of Helen. No word about Helen’s function in the show, but we’re guessing she has something to do with sex. Production on season two is currently underway in Los Angeles, and will premiere Sunday, July 13th. Silverman received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Leading Actress in a Comedy Series for The Sarah Silverman Program, and was also nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Monk. But these days she’s maybe best known for the Emmy she won — for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, as one of the writers of that hummable tune I’m Fucking Matt Damon for ABC’s late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Silverman will next be seen starring in Seth MacFarlane’s soon-to-be released feature A Million Ways to Die in the West

Tiff’s 25 Years of Midnight Madness: Best of the Fest #2

Tiff’s Midnight Madness program turned 25 this year, and for two and half decades, the hardworking programers have gathered some of the strangest, most terrifying, wild, intriguing and downright entertaining films from around the world. From dark comedies to Japanese gore-fests and indie horror gems, the Midnight Madness program hasn’t lost its edge as one the leading showcases of genre cinema. In its 25-year history, Midnight Madness has introduced adventurous late-night moviegoers to such cult faves as Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused and Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. But what separates Midnight Madness from, say, Montreal’s three and half week long genre festival Fantasia, is that Tiff selects only ten films to make the cut. In other words, these programmers don’t mess around. Last week I decided that I would post reviews of my personal favourite films that screened in past years. And just like the Tiff programmers,

Sarah Silverman gets her very first HBO comedy special

Sarah Silverman is returning to TV -- for one night only.

The comedian, who created and starred in Comedy Central's "The Sarah Silverman Program" for three years, is heading to HBO for her first comedy special with the premium cable network, "Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles." Premiering in the fall, "We Are Miracles" is presented in association with Funny or Die.

Liam Lynch, director of "Jesus Is Magic" will direct, edit and serve as a consulting producer on the upcoming project as well.

HBO finally gets hip to this Sarah Silverman kid

Although she’s been doing comedy for two decades, Sarah Silverman has little in the way of specials—those hallmarks of stand-up careers—to show for it. She has her 2005 concert film, Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic, but her IMDb page is surprisingly light on the specials that crowd Comedy Central’s schedule or pop up occasionally on HBO or Showtime. That’ll change later this year, when HBO debuts Silverman’s first stand-up special, Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles. Network president Michael Lombardo called her a “fresh” voice in a press release, perhaps forgetting that she co-starred on ...

Project Nim, The Future, Circumstance, & Thunder Soul Trailers

Here is a preview at the upcoming films being distributed by Roadside Attractions this year. They have some pretty fantastic things lined up. Take a peek!

Project Nim

In Theatres June 10th

From the Oscar-winning team behind Man On Wire comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the 1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child. Following Nim’s extraordinary journey through human society, and the enduring impact he makes on the people he meets along the way, the film is an unflinching and unsentimental biography of an animal we tried to make human. What we learn about his true nature – and indeed our own . is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling.

The Future

In Theatres July 29th

The Future tells the story of a thirty-something couple who,
